A waste of $300

A waste of $300. I rather use Chat GPT and other free material to study. Doesn't let you customize it. My kid wanted to practice just the hard problems from Module 2 and it won't allow, you have to complete all the easy problems first and then it will give you hard ones!! who has the time for that. Useless

Hi Meg, we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We want to clarify a few things that may help both you and others reading this.

PrepScholar is absolutely a customized program, but that customization is designed to optimally guide students to improve their score where it matters most and where it will make the biggest impact on their score.

It begins with a detailed diagnostic test so your student starts at the right level in each of the 45 skills. From there, the program automatically adjusts difficulty based on performance. If your child was seeing easier questions, it’s because the system identified specific foundational skills that still needed practice before moving on to the harder material. This approach ensures that students truly master each concept instead of skipping over gaps that can cost points on test day.

That said, students who want more control can use our Quiz Generator at any time to handpick skills and question counts.

We also offer a risk-free 5-day trial, so families can explore everything — including diagnostic results and practice modules — before committing. If the program isn’t a fit, canceling within those first five days is quick and easy by emailing support@prepscholar.com.

Finally, while tools like ChatGPT can be fun to explore, they’re not designed for accurate SAT practice (we’ve tested this ourselves!). Our questions, answers, and explanations are all written and reviewed by perfect scorers and expert instructors, ensuring content that’s reliable and true to the real exam.

We’d be glad to review your student’s account and make sure everything is set up properly. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@prepscholar.com

Amazing and Fun

I loved the Prep Scholar Classes. Ms. Jenn is a wonderful teacher and breaks down every problem so that I can understand it really well. The classes are very engaging, and I am being very honest that I was focused for all ninety minutes.

Math Vs English

Prep-Scholar's math information is extraordinary. It helped me improve my score dramatically very easily.

English is also helpful--though not as much as math. Prep-Scholar overall was one of my favorite SAT websites.

John Byrom Rocks

My tutor John Byrom was great! He was both helpful and humorous, and he gave me something to look forward to when coming to my ACT prep class, rather than dreading it. I also was in a class with only one other student, which was great. Keep up the great work, and I'm praying for y'all!

Great Experience!

I think it was great! The teachers are so nice and helpful. The tips given helped a lot for the writing and English section. I also love the patience given when doing the math portion and how they explain how to solve the questions individually. I am excited to see how I do on my next SAT!

I felt like I walked away with a better… confidence on getting though the SAT

I felt like I walked away with a better understanding of how to tackle the SAT, however, I felt like I already knew a lot of the material that was covered in the online meetings.

Hi Aidan, we’re glad to hear our prep helped you feel more prepared and confident about tackling the SAT!

For others reading, our Instructor-Led Classes are offered at three levels—Beginners, Essentials, and Advanced—so students can get the right balance of review and challenge. If a different level feels like a better fit after the first session, we’re always happy to adjust placements.

the class made it easier to understand…

the class made it easier to understand not only what each question is asking me for but also tips and tricks to look out for. The class felt welcoming allowing to make mistakes and learn from them. The tutor as well made the experience less stressful for me studying the SAT's

I like how the teacher explains the lessons

I like how the teacher explains the answers and goes step by step and I like how understandable and engaging she is. She makes sure's that the students understands its okay to make mistakes and doesn't try to point us out while also ensuring that we are learning at the same time. It makes the classroom space feel comforting.
